Nice, easily adjustable air volume, fits in my pocket, nicely anodized aluminum housing. They come in industrial or automotive style air connectors. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=94081

Seems OSHA in their infinate wisdom thought it would be safer to limit the pressure to about 35psi. Had to find a old one to really blow. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 3,458 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 3,458 | I hooked it up to 125 psi shop air and pretty much got the full whoosh out of it.

I just might, I never thought of that.

You can buy a barbed hose quick connect fitting for $1 that will do the same thing and fit in the pocket easier. I used them for years when I was a painter/bodyman and even at Boeing before they got safety minded.

I have an extra male quick connect fitting on my compressor connected to a valve so I can either use it as a draw-off valve or to fill my little 5 gallon portable air tank in about 10 seconds- far beats the schrader valve that came with it. If I hook up a regular air hose to it you could use it as a blower I guess.
